L. Macungie Planners Back Townhouses Fairways At Brookside Would Get 90 More Units

November 27, 1985|The Morning Call

A revised final plan for 90 apartment and townhouse condominium units at the Fairways at Brookside was recommended last night by Lower Macungie Township planners for supervisors' approval.

The dwellings would be north of the present four sections, or north of Radnor Drive.

Planners said representatives for the developer, G & W Developers, Allentown, should have specifics on a living fence around the detention areas before supervisor review.

While a long list of items was reviewed by planners, approval could be recommended since the few outstanding items were minor technicalities, including a simple addition and subtraction from the plan of record.

In another matter, planners recommended final approval of a five-lot subdivision at 6334 Hamilton Blvd. for Fred J. Jaindl. The subdivision divides four small commercial lots fronting on Hamilton (three one-acre, and one half- acre) from a 63.4-acre tract. Jaindl's attorney, Robert Johnson, said at a previous meeting that Jaindl has no immediate plans for the remaining 59.3 acres of residential land.

The commission stipulated that the developer extend water service from a nearby Lehigh County Authority line, making the service directly available to the lots. Planners also said the developer has agreed to have a common driveway for two lots with access to Route 222, a move suggested by the commission to cut down on the number of entryways to the busy road.

In other matters, planners heard two requests for two-lot subdivisions: Daniel Caldarelli's preliminary-final subdivision request to split a dog-leg portion fronting on Brookside from the balance of the property abutting the dead-end terminus of Bridle Path Drive, creating two large building lots at 1735 Brookside, and Russell Scheirer's sketch plan for a two-lot subdivision at 4915 Lower Macungie Road.

After much discussion, Caldarelli was told he would probably need a cul- de-sac for the lot off the Bridle Path stub road. The township engineer and attorney said they would research the matter before the next commission meeting.

Scheirer, who wants to divide three acres with a house from the remaining 23 acres, was also told to come back for further discussion.
